Chemical Structure

Phenylthioacetonitrile CAS 5219-61-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 149.21 g/mol gives Phenylthioacetonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Phenylthioacetonitrile (CAS 5219-61-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H7NS, MW 149.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Phenylthioacetonitrile (C8H7NS) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 149.21 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
